Public Toilet Refurbishments

It was announced at the last Residents Association Meeting that Councillor Bob Watson has secured £100,00 to be used in the refurbishment of the Seaton Delaval public toilets. In recent years the toilets have been getting in a worse state because of the frequent use from residents and visitors. As well as the toilet facilities already available being updated a disabled toilet will be added to the rear. An official start date for the work has not yet been announced however it will be before April 2009. Bob Watson said "This is one of the biggest investments for Seaton Valley in recent years apart from Astley Park of course". We will keep you up to date in any changes.

 

Sad News for Spotlight

I received an email today from Mandy Clarke, the editor of Spotlight, she would like me to make you all aware that Spotlight is no longer going to be made, In her own words "Whilst I have been supporting it with my own money I cannot justify continuing, especially when the monthly battle to find new advertisers seems to be becoming harder rather than easier! I have taken great pleasure in putting it together every month, and have met some wonderful people through doing so. I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved, advertised or contributed in whatever form. Without your support it would never have got off the ground at all!". She would also like me to make all advertisers that they will receive any money back that they have paid upfront "If you are one of the advertisers who have paid in advance, I will endeavour to get a cheque refund to you in the next couple of weeks."

 

Website Opens

The official website of the Seaton Delaval and Holywell Residents Association is up and running. It has taken a few weeks to get it all sorted and updated to a standard that we think is acceptable and you can now view it. Thank you to www.seatondelaval.org for the FREE website hosting.
